This study was intended to establish the percentile distribution of waist circumference in schoolchildren from Bogota, Colombia, participating in the FUPRECOL Study.
A cross-sectional study conducted in 3,005 children and 2,916 adolescents aged 9 to 17.9 years. Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and self-assessed sexual maturity status were recorded. Percentiles (3(rd), 10(th), 25(th), 50(th), 75(th), 90(th), and 97(th)) and smoothed sex- and age-specific curves were calculated, and the waist circumference values found were compared to international references from other ethnic populations.
Fifty-seven percent of the overall population (n=5,921) were females (mean age, 12.7±2.3 years). In most age groups, waist circumference was greater in boys as compared to girls. The increase between the 50(th) and 97(th) percentiles by age was 15.7cm in boys aged 9 to 9.9 years and 16.0cm in girls aged 11-11.9 years. Comparison of our study results, by age group and sex, to international references showed that our 50(th) percentile was lower than reported in Peru and the UK except for studies in India, Venezuela (Merida), US, and Spain was higher.
Age- and sex-specific percentiles of waist circumference obtained from children and adolescents from Bogota, Colombia, are reported. They may be used as a reference both for nutritional assessment and for predicting cardiovascular risks at early ages.
本研究旨在确定参与FUPRECOL研究的哥伦比亚波哥大市学童腰围的百分位数分布。
对3005名儿童和2916名9至17.9岁青少年进行横断面研究。记录身高、体重、腰围、臀围和自我评估的性成熟状态。计算百分位数（第3、10、25、50、75、90和97百分位数）以及按性别和年龄划分的平滑曲线，并将所得腰围值与其他种族人群的国际参考值进行比较。
总体人群（n = 5921）中57%为女性（平均年龄12.7±2.3岁）。在大多数年龄组中，男孩的腰围大于女孩。9至9.9岁男孩第50至97百分位数之间的年龄增长为15.7厘米，11至11.9岁女孩为16.0厘米。按年龄组和性别将我们的研究结果与国际参考值进行比较，结果显示除了印度、委内瑞拉（梅里达）、美国和西班牙的研究外，我们的第50百分位数低于秘鲁和英国报告的值。
报告了从哥伦比亚波哥大市儿童和青少年中获得的按年龄和性别划分的腰围百分位数。它们可作为营养评估和早期预测心血管风险的参考。
